Third-quarter results arrive October 29

The October 29 release gives investors a defined checkpoint after a profitable second quarter. ScanX News reported that second-quarter 2026 net income reached USD 11.10 million, up 38.80 percent from USD 8.00 million in the second quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share rose to USD 0.64 from USD 0.47, a 36.17 percent increase.

The income mix also improved. Net interest income reached USD 25.50 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 21.40 million a year earlier, while the fully tax-equivalent net interest margin stood at 2.69 percent versus 2.27 percent.

Margin expansion meets credit discipline

Benzinga reported that management highlighted a 19.00 percent year-over-year increase in net interest income and a 46-basis-point decline in deposit costs in the second quarter of 2026. The same call placed return on average equity above 16.00 percent for the first six months of 2026.

Credit metrics add a counterweight to the margin story. Past-due loans over 30 days stood at zero on June 30, 2026, while the watch list represented 0.70 percent of loans. The board also raised the quarterly dividend to USD 0.26 per common share, payable on August 19, 2026.
